Perfect Lie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Burn like a cigarette
Hole inside my head
Reminding me not to forget
Words, words I'd never say
Things along the way
Like telling me that I'm the best
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at your face, it doesn't look like it did
You give away everything now that you've hid
[Chorus]
You, you wanted me only
To never get lonely
So you opened up your arms and took me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then (Oh)
[Verse 2]
Help, help is on the way
That's what they all say
But the thing that they don't know
Is I, I know everything
And maybe it's just a ring
But that won't make me let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at your face, it doesn't look like it did
You give away everything now that you've hid
[Chorus]
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened up your arms and let me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is your perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at your face, it doesn't look like it did
You hide the love that you're not willing now to give
Willing now to give
[Chorus]
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened up your arms and let me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is your perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
[Outro]
Ooh
And this is our last goodbye
And this is the final lie
That I never have to hear that voice again
